Down to Earth Gifts features artisan products made by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden, PA, or cultivated on the Sisters’ 80-acre campus. 

Since our founding in 1650 in France, the Sisters of St. Joseph have maintained artisan trades to sustain themselves and their ministries. In France, they made lace. Today in Baden, we tend bees and make creams, note cards, story bowls, gift boxes and more.  

Your purchase supports our ministries of ecology, spirituality, and justice. Together, we can create a more unified, loving, and equitable world for every dear neighbor.
